Two Israelis were stabbed in the West bank city of Hebron on Wednesday.

The men, both in their 20s, were evacuated to Jerusalem for medical treatment. One was stabbed in his leg while the other sustained multiple wounds to his upper body, according to Magen David Adom.

The attack occurred at the entrance to the Beit Hadassah building in the city’s Jewish enclave and the assailant was shot and killed by security forces.

Earlier this week another attack in Hebron left an Israeli man in his 40s seriously injured. He sustained multiple injuries to his upper body and was left in a critical condition after being stabbed by 21-year-old Ihab Fathi Miswadi, from Hebron. Miswadi was shot and killed by security forces at the scene.

Hebron has been described as a ‘flashpoint’ and particular source of tension in the recent wave of Palestinian stabbing, shooting and vehicular attacks that has swept the country since October.
